Shadows: Forest Path

I've been drawing shadow puppets to practice for a future project. I really wanted to see what the puppets looked like inked.
I'm really happy with it. Surprisingly so. Everything seems too look just right to me. With the stiffness of real puppets, yet like they might be able to move if I pulled the wires.
(The fireflies/spirits in "real life" would be on a clear screen and pasted on since they don't need separate movement)

Story is as thus:
"Pumpkin and Snippets have gotten lost in the Forest of Spirits. Mortals are unable to find their way out, despite magical abilities. So Pumpkin and Snippets must rely on the spirit animal Big Ears to lead them out."
